Cottage Garden Restoration

Come along with me as I take you from start to finish in a rather large garden revival. A garden ignored for almost 2 years had become a jungle of wild vines, weeds, broken trellis’s and all kinds of whatnot. It was a sometimes tedious but worthwhile work to pull this space back together, but I think I’ve restored it to some of it’s former beauty.
UPDATE on the odd Coneflower: many of you have noted this Coneflower is afflicted with Asters Yellow virus; I’m afraid you were correct and I must remove the plant from the garden lest it effect all the other around it. So sad, I kinda liked the odd looking fellow.

  4. I already posted here a few days ago, but Jeri, I just have to come back and tell you again how much I appreciate your videos. It's so brutally hot here and my "gardens," if I can even call them that, are heartbreaking this year. So, when I'm free to visit my favorite visual refreshment–peaceful and informative YT gardening videos–I always find myself coming back here to your channel. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Yours is the most genuinely decent channel IMO, and without the challenging visual (and often verbal) anti-Christian, anti-American, social or environmentalist propaganda. This is a place where I can just enjoy my viewing then walk away not feeling judged and I can still feel proud of being American. I love it here. So comfortable, so refreshing, so inspiring. Thank you again for all you give us of your time and talents. Thank you!! 🐞

  8. I loved the wonderfull transformation of your garden. Such a lovely walk with the chickens. I too moved back home an enjoy digging up over a hundred year old brick and flagstone for my garden pathways. I will continue to follow you.

  14. I have really enjoyed your video of you garden! I am recovering from back surgery, so it gives me hope that the garden can be salvaged. I go and sit on the ground at times and weed for a few minutes early in the mornings. I like that you have a lot of shade and repurpose things and use what you have. I have hope in the future of my shadier spots. Definitely like bluebells also and the animals.

  17. Love the bench. My garden is a work in progress. When I went to go take care of my mom, some didn’t take care of my garden that took 10 yrs to put together. Ruined in three . But I will start over won’t be like before because my health now is not good. It will take a while for sure . But I love the flowers you have . Keep going you’ll get there to .

  24. Great video !! Love to see the swallowtails–I actually have been able to cultivate several species of them to my hot interior desert garden here in Tempe, AZ, outside Phoenix

  26. My 3 acres are so in need of work and your videos may just help. BUT the heat and humidity is prohibiting me at this time. I just got a cute little Japanese maple that is in need of a planting and I want to get a front garden cleaned out asap in the next couple days. My horror of a weed is poison ivy. It is everywhere this year. Something I have not had. Sadly I have to put poison on my ground for the first time because of it. Nothing else is working.

  30. The old timey Sweet Williams are my most favorite flower and has the been the absolute hardest for me to grow. Do you direct sow yours or could you explain how you got yours started?? And do you have yours in full sun or dappled sun? Any advice would be sooo appreciated!!!💞

  31. I added you to my subscribe list because of this video! It seems you garden the same way I do, except for the chickens. I don't like chickens, but my hubby does, we have an on going argument about them. I will have to see where you are, since I am in the cold north on the line of zones 3 & 4 some of the plantings won't work for me, but the basics…….love this!!

  32. I’ve just coming to watch you. Love how you made your new/old wood wall. And the chair—sweet.
    Great flowers. What is a cover/circle ‘thing’. Do you know where they came from to I could use some too?
    Loves seeing your flowers

  33. Thanks for this lovely video! I´m starting a new garden, pretty much from scratch since I just bought a Swedish cottage with a huge garden. Basically a garden without any plants as of now. I decided to document the whole progress on my YouTube channel 🙂 I need all the inspiration I can get!!

  43. I just found your channel and am inspired! It’s beautiful! I live in the country in central Texas and have deer problems. Do you have deer and what do you do to keep your gardens from being a deer smorgasbord?

  45. Hi Jeri, Jan Cole here from southeast Pennsylvania, also an avid gardener and landscape designer. One thing I found helpful for controlling weeds between my perennials is to plant very low growing groundcovers of various colors, textures and bloom times. Perhaps that would save you a lot of weed pulling and aggravation! It also saves having to mulch! By the way, I love what you're doing, especially the bunny fence and garden seat! 🐇🐰🥰

  47. First time watching and I love your garden, your dog is so sweet like a big teddy and your cat seems happy to relax and living the life. I really like the idea of the brick walkway. I made a flagstone one but I'm having a hard time getting more of them and bricks look so rustic. I have immediately subscribed can't wait to "catch up" on all your videos 🙂 I love the rabbit bench and fence, what a cute idea! I'm going to do this in my new house 🙂
